Sheldon endures a church lock-in, Missy finds an unexpected talent, and Mary clashes with a parent over something that isn't what it seems.
The episode opens with Mary (Zoe Perry) forcing a reluctant Sheldon (Iain Armitage) to attend a church lock-in. For Sheldon, this is his version of a horror movie: no routines, unsupervised teenagers, and a foam-pit “trust exercise.” The comedy here is predictable but effective—Sheldon tries to apply scientific method to musical chairs, only to be out-hustled by a second-grader. young sheldon s05e05 xvid
